PINK ALBATROSSES 
traring the southern summers of 1962-63 and 1963-64 numbers of 
pink Wandering Albatrosses Diomedea exulans will be seen in the 
southern oceans. 
These birds are being coloured with a pink dye by members of 
the United States Antarctic Research Program at Bird Island, South 
Georgia (54° 00*3,, 38° 02 *W) as part of a study on their oceanic 
distribution. 
An essential part of such investigations is the co-operation 
of seafarers in reporting observations. It would be gratefully 
appreciated if each sighting of a coloured bird is reported on the 
attached form,
